DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[SleepingHero]

There are better players in the world than THJ, but the fascination with moving him, especially given that he fits an important role here, fits the locker room, wants to be here, is on an expiring deal and actually played really well last season is weird to me. 

I wouldn't say I have a fascination of moving on from THJ. But I am trying to read the tea leaves. By all accounts, THJ had an outlier year last season. He overperformed in almost all of his advanced stats across the board.  

We saw tangible evidence that his season last year was truly an outlier, not a brand new THJ. In the bubble, including playoffs, THJ went 38/112 from 3 (33.9%). That is almost exactly his career 3pt percentage. Last year he shot nearly 4 points over his career number. We have to ask ourselves is that really sustainable? And if not, why shouldn't the Mavs go and try to fix that before THJ loses his 40% luster when the next season starts??

Again, I wouldn't really care if the Mavs keep THJ and rock this roster. I'm excited for what's in store. But I also wouldn't be surprised if THJ takes a massive step back.
